About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I was not born to sit on my couch and whine, nor was I born to travel to other people's couches. However, if the opportunity should come my way to crash on a couch, I know I'll grant the same kindness in return.

ABOUT ME

My friends describe me as being a smart guy, and laid back. I imagine they'd also say I'm quiet but thoughtful, and polite.

PHILOSOPHY

No substitute exists for honesty, of which there are many forms.

Behind every poor risk is a viable option.

Give everyone a chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As of now, I have no couch surfing experience, other than crashing on friends' couches. I am known as a good guest, which I believe is simply because I am very respectful of people's spaces.

Interests

I enjoy traveling, playing with pets and other animals, skiing, basketball, weight lifting, bike riding, and hiking. I like keeping in touch with old friends and I endure awkward and insubstantial moments for later periods of friendship that embody trust.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Big Lebowski, Memento, Fargo, American Beauty, Training Day.. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N Roses, hip hop.. Sway, psychology books. I'm reading "Unorthadox" byDeborah Feldman now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1)seeing a pet owl scaring away pigeons during the day, in the middle of the urban landscape of New York City.
2)peering over the Israeli border, at Lebanon.
